When they begin the Beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender
It brings back a night of tropical splendour
It brings back a memory ever green
I'm with you once more under the stars
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the Beguine
So just let them begin the Beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the Beguine
Oh yes let them begin the Beguine
make them play
Till the stars that were there before
return above you
Till you whisper to me once more
darling I love you
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
When they begin the Beguine
When they begin the Beguine
